Just a shame Henry couldn’t say ‘I’m not really coming over for a 13k pot which I’d need to win just to pay for Bob’s travelling costs’. Though a tiny bit hopeful, I never thought Bob O would be seen on English shores until March, when it matters, and when the pot matters’.

Shame that. Although in the Faugheen at Limerick at present there may not be much to face, certainly not from the Mullins yard. Will depend if Elliott throws anything at it. Obviously are others but I think Bob will prove even better next time up.

As a racing fan it’s a shame they’re not meeting, would’ve been a real treat to see it so early in the season.

But talking from my pocket I’m glad they aren’t going to meet until the Marsh!

13K? Whats he flying first class!

[Lobos]

Probably refused his jabs

13K? Whats he flying first class!

Henry bringing over his horse, all of his own personal requirements regarding veterinary supplies, staff members, staff members fees……thirteen grand would just about cut it.

Point being too, Henry isn’t going to want to be risking any potential injuries, however trivial, to one of his ‘big guns’ for the sake of ?13k. When I saw his original entry, I thought ‘Why on earth are you putting his name on the provisional dotted line when you really ain’t gonna bring him over!”

What you are trying to say is......he bottled it

Looks like we have a new sponsor and name for this race - The Turners Novices’ Chase

The JLT, became the Marsh. Now probably will be known as the Turners. I have forgotten what is called before it was the JLT. Hard that this races have little history and recognition beyond the various sponsors names. Even harder for them to get any identity.

Was it the Jewsons before the JLT? So hard to keep up!

It’s registered as the Golden Miller Novices Chase which I didn’t know until now. It’s a pity that isn’t what it’s more commonly known as by all.

Thanks PP, appreciate the heads up…

Yes all these races have official titles that never get used, a result of long tern sponsorship in many cases.
Not sure I’ll ever get out of the habit of calling the Ladbrokes Trophy the Hennessy…

This race title had never had much of a ring to it compared to the big historic established two Grade 1's.

"all roads lead to the Arkle"
"we think he is an RSA horse"

resonate with me, far more than

"we will aim at the JLT"
"the Marsh trip should suit"

and now
"He's a horse for the Turners, all day long"

Very true, but the race has no history, might be a different story in a few yew years when we can’t remember our names and we eat through a straw…
